Hello readers, today I'm going to be making a new blog post about Parihaka. Parihaka is a village beside a mountain called MT. Parahaki. Our task is to read this whole article about Parihaka and post it on our blogs. Parihaka was invaded by 1600 army men from the British. They wanted the land and tried to SCAM the Maori people for it. They we're offering a little ammount of money, they didn't want to sell their land. The British now invaded them and put them in prison. They wore leaves on their head while they are taking them one by one. The leaves on the head means peace and safe resistance. Passive resistance means trying to achieve social change without harm to people. The prisoners we're prisoned till 1860 to 1881 it was 21 YEARS!. I feel really sad for the Maori people because they didn't do anything wrong. Once every year in the day of the Parihaka, Maori people visit the prison and do some rituals. Here is a picture of Parihaka.
New Zealand Wars. The Maori people population dropped cause of sickness and war, the name of the main settlement in Aotearoa New Zealand is Russel - kororareka. The Rangatira and missionaries is unhappy with the happening in town because of British taking over and over partying. The Treaty of waitangi was neglected by rats, water and rotted. The thing that was set up on 1883 was to help resolve the situation is united tribes. The British saw France as a threat because they were taking their land. The guy that set up the New Zealand Company was Edward Gibson.
The British send Hobson to New Zealand to stop the war. The population of Maori people that went to Sign the treaty was 40. The problem of the was the treaty was written is no being translated properly. Tino Rangatiratanga is having your own Authority. Sovereignty means controlling the crown. The Kawanatanga thought to mean that misused. The Maori believed that it was going to help them but they sold the land of little fortune. Hono Heke showed his frustration by cutting down the flag of the British. The methods that the Maori used to beah the British was log walls, pits and trenches.
